MAIN STORY:

Ava's excitement was palpable as she eagerly awaited her father's arrival. She had only seen his picture before, but had never met him in person. Aashutosh couldn't help but feel a sense of joy seeing Ava's enthusiasm. He approached her with a warm smile and asked, "Ava, if you had the chance, would you want to live with your family?" Ava's expression turned serious as she looked at Aashutosh with a hint of curiosity. Aashutosh's eyes sparkled with anticipation, eager to hear her response.

Just then, the doorbell rang, signaling the arrival of Surya and Dwan. Aashutosh's heart skipped a beat as he opened the door, revealing Surya and Dwan standing in the doorway. Ava's eyes widened with excitement as she rushed to hug Dwan, her long-lost sister. Aashutosh's eyes welled up with tears as he watched the heartwarming reunion. Surya, too, was overcome with emotion as he gazed at Ava, his daughter whom he had been separated from for so long.

As they entered the apartment, Aashutosh offered them a warm welcome, his eyes locked on Surya's. The air was filled with an unspoken understanding, a deep connection that only they shared. Surya's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, his voice filled with emotion. "Radhe Radhe, Aashu," he said, his words dripping with affection. Aashutosh's face lit up with a radiant smile as he replied, "Radhe Radhe, Surya."

As they settled in, Surya enveloped Ava in a warm hug, his voice filled with apology. "Sorry, princess. Your dad had some important work that kept him away from you, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you. He loves you very much." Aashutosh's eyes misted as he watched the tender moment, his heart swelling with love for Surya and Ava.

As they freshened up, Aashutosh offered them a refreshing drink, his eyes sparkling with hospitality. Surya and Dwan exchanged a warm smile, grateful for Aashutosh's kindness. As they settled in, Surya turned to Aashutosh with a mischievous glint in his eye. "Aashu, I want to stay in your room," he said, his voice low and husky. Aashutosh's face turned a deep shade of crimson as he stuttered, "I-I'll stay in the guest room."

Surya's eyes sparkled with amusement as he teased Aashutosh, his voice filled with affection. "Aashu, your old habits haven't changed, have they?" Aashutosh's face burned with embarrassment as he tried to shoo Surya away, his hands fluttering wildly. Surya's laughter echoed through the room, his eyes shining with mirth. "If I change my old habits, how will you remember me for the rest of your life?" Aashutosh's eyes rolled heavenward as he tried to compose himself, his heart racing with excitement.

As Surya threatened to emerge from the bathroom without clothes, Aashutosh's face turned a deep shade of crimson. He hastily opened the bathroom door and made a quick escape, leaving Surya in stitches. Surya's laughter echoed through the room, his eyes sparkling with amusement. He was thrilled to be reunited with Aashutosh, and he couldn't wait to create more memories with him.

As Surya emerged from the shower, refreshed and rejuvenated, he made his way to the dining table, where Aashutosh had laid out a delectable spread. As Aashutosh served Surya, their hands touched, and Surya's eyes locked onto Aashutosh's, filled with admiration. "Where did you learn to cook like this?" Surya asked, his voice laced with wonder. Aashutosh's face lit up with a warm smile as he replied, "I learned it for Ava's sake." Surya's eyes softened, filled with gratitude. "You're taking great care of our daughter, Aashu. I want you to make her just like you - a kind and compassionate person." Aashutosh's face glowed with pride as he said, "Surya, I want Ava to be like you - always standing up for what's right and finding joy in every situation." Surya's touch on Aashutosh's hand became even more gentle, his voice filled with emotion. "Aashu, don't praise me so much, or my love for you will only grow stronger." Just then, Ava and Dwan walked into the dining room, and Aashutosh hastened to serve them as well. As they sat down to eat together, the atmosphere was filled with warmth and laughter. They looked like a happy family, basking in each other's joy. Ava was the happiest of all, her eyes sparkling with delight as she savored this precious moment with her father. The love and connection that filled the room was palpable, a sense of belonging that only came from being with the people who mattered most. As they ate and chatted, their hearts were filled with gratitude for this reunion, and they knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.

Jenna was consumed by worry, her mind racing with the thought that she had sent Surya to Aashutosh, potentially rekindling their past love. The possibility of Surya and Aashutosh reuniting and bridging the gap of years filled her with anxiety. As she sat alone in her house, Radhika arrived with Ruby, sensing her friend's distress. Jenna's face lit up with a warm smile as she saw Ruby, her eyes filled with affection. "Ruby, I'll teach you how to sing," she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. Ruby's eyes sparkled with excitement as she replied, "Yes, please teach me now, or Wan will arrive and won't let me learn." Jenna's eyebrows rose in surprise as she asked, "You're scared of Wan?" Radhika chuckled and said, "No, Jenna, Ruby isn't scared of Wan. She actually likes Wan a lot, like a friend." Jenna smiled, knowing this already. "If I had a son, I would have married him to Ruby," she said, her voice filled with warmth. Radhika playfully teased, "Well, if that had happened, Ruby would have gotten a mother-in-law like you." Jenna's eyes widened in mock offense, asking, "What's wrong with me?" Radhika giggled and said, "Nothing, except your nose is a bit longer." The two friends burst into laughter, their banter filling the room with warmth and camaraderie. For a brief moment, Jenna's worries faded away, replaced by the joy of sharing laughter with her dear friend. As they sat together, Radhika's presence was a soothing balm to Jenna's frayed nerves, reminding her that even in times of uncertainty, friendship and love could provide comfort and peace.

Surya's eyes sparkled with excitement as he suggested, "Let's all go out together today! Starting tomorrow, I'll be swamped with business work and won't have any free time." Ava and Dwan eagerly agreed, their faces lighting up with anticipation. Aashutosh, however, hesitated, his brow furrowed with concern. Surya noticed his unease and took Aashutosh's hand in his, offering reassurance. "Don't worry, Aashu. We'll be safe. None of Nikolas's servants will be able to recognize us together here." Aashutosh looked up at Surya, his eyes searching for comfort. Despite Surya's words, he couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that had settled in his heart. "I'm still scared, Surya," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. Surya's grip on his hand tightened, his eyes filled with understanding and empathy. He knew that Aashutosh's fears were not unfounded, but he was determined to keep him safe. With a gentle smile, Surya coaxed Aashutosh to agree, his voice filled with persuasion. "Come on, Aashu. Let's just take a chance and enjoy this day together. We can face whatever challenges come our way, as long as we're together." Aashutosh's heart swelled with emotion as he looked at Surya, his eyes locked on the man he loved. He knew that he couldn't resist Surya's charms, and with a nod, he agreed to go along with Surya's plan.
